rants and giggles on the phone last night!
My friend Blackbelt (poor blog-less soul) called me at about 8 o'clock last night....
SO....
I answered...
thank you....
Just Kidding! As anyone will tell you I will take as much time up giving every detail as possible! At any time!
so anypoo I said hi and she said: "I've just had the best idea...I've ever had" (she isn't the brightest light on the x-mas tree) "I'm gonna start a band!"
My first question of course was..."Do you know how to play an instrament?" but in my head I was thinking "SUGAR HIGH!" She knows how to play the piano...(she demonstrated by holding the phone by the piano and hitting many keys in random order...) she also knows how to play the harmonica (her mother paid her $7 not to.) and the recorder...(I shudder to think)......I know 2 chords on the guitar (almost enough to play a song! YAYYYY *I have decided to learn a bit more) and the recorder...(*shuders* ahhh 3rd grade.) so she asks me if I would like to join....And I ask "don't you kind of need instraments to be in a band..." she replies "We'll worry about that later....Lets think of a name!" at this point I can tell she is on a sugar high....
We threw names at each other for a few minutes ranging from Neeuq (Queen spelt backwards) to The Rubberbands....We settled on "Bacon"
When I told this to "the rents" (mom and dad in pre-teen terms) over a nice frozen custard at "Lickty Splits" (a little frozen custard shop). my father was somewhat excited while a little uhhh worried?? my mother said "at least your father won't be yellin *"you can't be in a long-haired hippie band!"* He'll be worse....he'll want to "jam" (rock in old-timer terms...... also good on toast) with you....at this point I decided we would be practicing at BlackBelt's house.....If we find a drummer.....
And that my friends is how I became a part of a "band" (a small group *2* of musicaly challenged 12 year olds) called "Bacon".....
